Maybe this was posted already, but let's make an official thread for it. Oh man, I wish I could be there!!!, is anybody from here going?

The Talking Heads legend is teaming up with Brian Eno for two London dates09 April 2009 - Ex-Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and U2 producer Brian Eno are set to descend on London this Easter weekend as part of the Ether Festival.

The pair, who will perform two dates at Royal Festival Hall on 12-13 April, will play tracks from their numerous collaborations - starting with with Talking Heads tracks Eno produced in the 1970s through to the 2008 album they wrote together Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.

*if* Eno joins DB on stage, it would certainly be something special... but I doubt it. The BBC article is very poorly written and suggests they'll do a full show together... I wouldn't be surprised if the author simply misinterpret the tour's tagline "the songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno". Eno is in London though, and even had a little chat on the Ether festival, so maybe he'll be there... I'm sure our special reporters from London will keep us posted

Hi, Ruben. Our Great and Good Leader discussed this in private em when I received em from Ether Festwith Eno/Hassell a month or more ago.His stance has not altered one iota. reno and I speculated too in DB in UK Topic 09/04-of course reno will not be speculating Sunday evening

And, of course,we The TH People demand thick-of-it despatches from that particular Theatre of Operations the moment DB's feedback fades into the....ether. (sorry!)

I will of course let you all know tomorrow night if B.Eno turns up! But alas, I doubt it. He's rarely even performed himself. With Roxy of course and with Robert Fripp a few times. He did a special appearance at a James gig, I believe. If he turns up at the London gigs it would probably be as an audience member. Wishful thinking though...

I doubt very much that Brian will perform. He knocked the idea on the head in the recent interview he did for The Guardian with DB:

"Rumours circulating that Eno might join Byrne on stage when the current tour reaches the Royal Festival Hall in London next month are dashed. Eno has said he'd rather be sick than perform again: "It's his show. For me to wander on and toodle around - I couldn't think of a way to do that gracefully." Instead, he's offering a conversation with Jon Hassell (the musician and horn arranger on Remain in Light). The subject? Making the world safe for pleasure; control and surrender; kinds of abstraction sickness; the north and south of you; transcendence and intoxication: what sex, art, religion, music and drugs have in common ... To borrow a phrase: same as it ever was."

reno. take it Brain of Noe failed to sprint to the boards with the old VCS 3 and Kaoss Pad under his arm?Bryan Ferry-King of the Jungle could have announced "Calm down,calm down! Tonight Eno will NOT beproducing! " Ond.
